Instructions

  1. In a large bowl using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, white cheddar cheese, ½ cup of dried cranberries, ½ cup of pecans, and 1 tablespoon of chives.
  2. Scrape the sides of the bowl, bringing the mixture to the center. This will make about 3 cups.
  3. Set out a 10x10-inch piece of plastic wrap.
  4. Using greased hands, form the cream cheese mixture into a ball and place onto the sheet of plastic wrap. Bring the edges of the plastic wrap together to seal the cheeseball. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until firm.
  5. On a plate, combine the remaining cranberries, pecans, and chives.
  6. Remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator. After taking off the plastic wrap, roll the cheese ball into the remaining cranberries, pecans, and chives, pressing slightly.
  7. Let the cheese ball sit out at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve with crackers.
